Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
The only thing that’s different about a full Japanese and Half Japanese who were both born and raised in Japan and both speak fluent Japanese is their skin color/look. And people try to treat them differently as if they don’t belong there just because they “look” different.
It’s the same problem in America. People who are of European ethnicity and “white” feel like they belong in America more than people who are of Asian ethnicity yet born and raised in America, they are the exact same as them and is just as American as them who were also born and raised in the country, except the only difference is looks. One looks asian and the other looks white.
I'm not half Japanese but the interviewee's life experiences are very similar to my own as a half Korean. Very relatable interview on Asian Boss.
Very interesting how the mixed asian feels like he is treated as a foreigner when he reveals his halfu status. While the blasian guy feels like he is treated as japanese after telling that he is halfu.
Also the mixed asian having their grandparents hate each other must be sad. Also the blasian kid father getting a threat to leave his daughter is extreme as hell.
I know its off topic but i remebr this fully white girl that was born in japan and grew up there and only speaks japanese she faces extreme discrimination and never felt like she had a hometown it was very moving
It seems asian countrys seem to struggle very hard with understanding that immigrants can and do assimilate
This is why i cant say personally i think living in an asian society will be much better for us.
